Fave Reveals Why She Officially Released the Viral AI Version of Intentions
Nigerian singer and fast-rising Afropop star Fave has shared the reason behind her surprising move. She officially released the viral AI-generated version of Intentions, a song originally created by the duo Urban Chords. The AI clip spread across social media earlier this year and sounded so real that many fans believed she recorded it.
Instead of ignoring the trend, Fave chose to embrace it. She explained that the viral moment showed her how strongly listeners connected to the sound. “People kept tagging me and saying the song felt like something I would sing,” she said. She felt shocked at first, but she soon understood the excitement behind the fan reactions.
The overwhelming love for the AI clip pushed her to rethink her view on AI-generated vocals. She noticed the genuine connection fans had already formed with the track. “I saw how excited people were, and I didn’t want that excitement to die,” she noted. She then decided to “own it” since fans already believed in the song.
Fave said the decision required thoughtful planning. She consulted Urban Chords and her team before moving forward. “It was important to respect the original creators,” she said. Her goal was collaboration, not confusion, and she wanted the official version to honor their work.
Now that the official release is underway, Fave hopes to guide the conversation around AI in music. She wants a balance between creativity and technology while protecting artists and their identities. “AI is here whether we like it or not,” she added. “But if it’s going to use my voice, then I want to guide the narrative and make sure the art still has heart.”
The new version of Intentions marks a key moment for African music and AI innovation. Fave hopes it inspires transparency, collaboration, and bold creativity across the industry.
